    "excerpt": "Hyundai Motor, Kia unveil in-vehicle ultraviolet sanitization technology.\n\nHyundai Motor Co. and Kia Corp. has unveiled \"Plasma Care UVC,\" an in-vehicle sanitization technology that uses a plasma lamp to sanitize the vehicle cabin environment and reduce odors, including while passengers are present, according to a press release.\n\n\"Unlike conventional ultraviolet sterilization, which can pose risks to the skin and eyes upon direct exposure, Hyundai Motor and Kia's newly developed Plasma Care UVC utilizes far-ultraviolet C (Far-UVC) light in the 200-230 nanometer (nm) range,\" the release states.\n\n\"This specific wavelength delivers high energy for an effective sanitizing effect, while its limited penetration depth is designed to remain on the outer keratin layer of human skin without reaching deeper layers. In contrast, bacteria and viruses lack this protective barrier, allowing Far-UVC light to penetrate and destroy their DNA.\"\n\nBy effectively targeting bacteria and microorganisms, Hyundai and Kia say that Plasma Care UVC also helps remove odor-causing substances produced during their proliferation.\n\nThe automakers say they have successfully adapted Far-UVC technology for use in vehicle cabin environments by developing a compact, durable system that is powered by a specialized plasma lamp and reinforced with advanced safety controls.\n\n\"While conventional UVC (255-280 nm) is...",
